Abstract
- Multiple myeloma manifestated by necrotizing fasciitis is quite rare. Most of the patients affected with necrotizing fasciitis have some risk factors : Chronic general or local diseases, leukoenia, immunodeficiency diseases, malignancy, and an age of 50 years or more. We have experienced a case of necrotizing fasciitis associated with multiple myeloma presented as jaundice, pain, swelling of right buttock, ab-domiminal distension in 65-year-old man. His general status was improved after incision and drainage of wound and systemic chemotherapy. We recommend that multiple myeloma should be considered if necrotizing fasciitis is diagnosed.
